macOS Catalina 10.15.3, Security Updates for Mojave and High Sierra
macOS 10.15.3 (19D76) available via software update or download links below.
"The macOS Catalina 10.15.3 update improves the stability, reliability, and security of your Mac, and is recommended for all users.

This update:
- Optimizes gamma handling of low gray levels on Pro Display XDR for SDR workflows when using macOS.
- Improves multi-stream video editing performance for HEVC and H.264 encoded 4K video on the 16-inch MacBook Pro (2019)."

macOS 10.15.3 also includes Safari 13.0.5.

(FYI: the owner that reported poor 2019 Mac Pro Final Cut Pro X performance with 10.15.2 said the macOS 10.15.3 update seems to have solved it.)

Also released are Security Update 2020-001 Mojave, & Security Update 2020-001 High Sierra (downloads below). Here's the article on security fixes in macOS 10.15.3 and Security Updates 2020-001 for 10.14.6/10.13.6. (See below for info on Safari 13.0.5, included in macOS 10.15.3, available for macOS 10.14.6/10.13.6.)

FYI: If you use Nvidia's web graphics drivers for 10.13.6, the Security Update new build number requires a driver update. (See January 30, 2020 updated driver below.)
 
Safari 13.0.5, iOS/iPadOS 13.3.1, iOS 12.4.5, tvOS 13.3.1, watchOS 6.1.2 Updates
(Some articles on Security fixes were revised Jan. 29th to add more items.)
Nvidia Graphics Driver Update for macOS 10.13.6 (build w/Security Update 2020-001)
Jan. 30, 2020 download page of graphics driver 387.10.10.10.40.134 for macOS 10.13.6.
(No build number listed, but assumed for Security Update 2020-001 build.)
As before, download page info includes this installation note.
"Installation Note: The installer requires System Preferences to be launched during the installation process. Do not manually close System Preferences until after clicking Allow in the Security & Privacy Preferences, later in the process.

The installer also requires rebooting the system after the installation process. Do not launch any other applications until the process is complete and the system has been rebooted.

New in Release 387.10.10.10.40.134"
(No new info, same notes on D/L page as previous drivers, so I won't repeat it here.)

The "Additional Information" tab on the download page has a step-by-step install guide.
If you can't select the page's 'Accept' terms/conditions button, here's a direct download link.
(As of post time, the download page's CUDA link goes to CUDA 418.105 from Feb. 27th, 2019 but the latest download as of 1/30/2020 is CUDA 418.163 from May 10th, 2019 or check for a CUDA update in the Nvidia prefs.)
